[SOLVED] Boot looking for sda, boot files are on sdc
Posted: Thu Apr 12, 2012 12:05 pm
I'm a total newbie, so if I misspeak or whatnot, please forgive...
I had to completely reinstall Fedora. I followed the directions on the Amahi site very carefully. Everything seemed to go well until I rebooted. Fedora started loading, and stopped shortly after. It went to a text screen and said that /dev/sda could not be mounted because it is already in use.
The only problem is, there is no "sda". I tried the install again, and double-checked when I was setting up the partition... the boot drive is labeled "sdc". I could not find any option to change that. Is there a way to make Fedora look for "sdc" instead of "sda," or can I somehow rename "sdc" to "sda"?
I did not have this problem with the first install I had done (although there were other problems, hence the reinstall), and I cannot remember if the drive was labeled "sdc" or "sda" that time.
